Examination of the assumptions underlying consistency perspectives in social and personality psychology reveals that they are based on an independent, individualistic view of the self. If the self is constructed as relational or interdependent with others, consistency may be less important in social behavior and well-being. Using a variety of measures of well-being, the studies showed that there is a weaker relation between consistency and well-being for individuals with a highly relational self-construal than for those with a low relational self-construal. Study 3 examined the association between the self-construal, consistency, authenticity, and well-being. These findings reveal the importance of a cultural analysis of theories of the self, personality, and well-being for further theory development.
对社会和人格心理学中一致性观点所基于的假设进行考察后发现，它们是建立在一种独立、个人主义的自我观之上的。如果自我被构建为与他人相关联或相互依存的，那么一致性在社会行为和幸福感中可能就没那么重要了。通过使用各种幸福感测量方法，研究表明，与低关系自我建构的个体相比，高关系自我建构的个体在一致性与幸福感之间的关系较弱。研究3考察了自我建构、一致性、真实性和幸福感之间的关联。这些发现揭示了对自我、人格和幸福感理论进行文化分析对于进一步理论发展的重要性。
